Bundles of herbs are burned in various cultures and spiritualities as “smudge sticks” in order to purify a person, object, or space of negative energy.

Light one end of the sage bundle or wand and then blow it out to produce the purifying smoke. Carry the bundle around (watch for hot ashes) or use a feather or smudge wand to direct the smoke around your space or around a person. Place the hot end into a ceramic dish, abalone shell, or cauldron to allow it to naturally burn out.

Desert Sage, also called Blue Sage, has a milder scent and smoke than White Sage. This herb has the same purifying magick as White Sage, and is preferred by practitioners for preparation and use in ritual work involving ghosts, ancestors, and divination.

Palo Santo wood is also known as “holy wood” and grows in the coastal regions of South America. It is intensely fragrant and produces a clearing and elevating smoke that enhances your sacred space and ceremonies. Using Palo Santo can really refresh a space, especially after a group gathering. Palo Santo is also a favorite with Shamanic Practitioners with a South American focus.
